Pradātṛtva (प्रदातृत्व) refers to “that which gives (joy)”, according to the Saṅkarṣaṇa Samhitā (verse 8.5-8).—Accordingly, the Garuḍamantra clears all the doubts of the person who chants it and protects him irrespective of his desire. It always bestows peace, prosperity and wellness on its aspirant voluntarily just like a mother, and showers strength like a father. It gives (pradātṛtva) joy[sarvasukha pradātṛtvaṃ] like one’s own spouse and showers knowledge even as a preceptor would do to a student. To put it succintly, the Garuḍamantra is on par with lord Hari himself in bestowing on his devotees, the best of everything desired by them, simultaneously assuring them of constant protection in this and the other world
